ISU. Heck... Durant has drawn 40+ fouls by leaning into our guys on the offensive end... lets lean in too instead of backing off to shoot.
Interesting point. I noticed that unexperienced teams like ours tend to not get nearly as tight on defense as a team more experienced. It seems like something that changes as a program progresses. Hopefully we have that air-tight, Chris Walker-maddeningly-annoying-in-your-face type of defense over the next few years. Good for us, annoying for everybody else!
